Peas

Another lovely sunny day, so went and planted out the peas

They are Twinkle peas, an early variety. I sowed 96 of them in 2" cells a few weeks ago. 73 sprouted and grew up to 6" tall, so that's about a 75% germination rate. Must bear that in mind for next year's sowings.

I set up a basic frame using plastic netting supported by bamboo canes. It's worked well in previous years, but this year I went higher as the peas grow up to 4ft tall.

They've been planted in the potato bed I dug out a few days ago.
